I am very happy with my Ballade sports as of right now
There is not a crazy amount of vibrations just note you need to buy 2 of them.
It looks like OEM but the rubber is soild it's well made but I don't have anything to compare it to; my stock ones were leaking and broken in 1/2; so it's night and day better now.

Why not just buy new factory mounts?

Nope. Especially not with this car. OEM all the way. Even the belts are way better than aftermarket ones.

OEM truly is the best, and if yours are in good shape and not torn or leaking, keep them.

OEM mounts will serve you well even in boosted applications and the like.

IF you want a more connected feel and don't mind a tiny bit of added nvh, these are the ONLY aftermarket mounts I'd recommend, period.

Mugen
Spoon
Vibratechnics "Fast Road" version ONLY
HardRace "Street" version ONLY


Those are all harder rubber mounts that are solid instead of oil filled like OEM. Do NOT under any circumstance get any kind of poly mount such as Innovative, Hasport, or anything else out there that uses a poly insert and doesn't share the same mounting geometry as OEM. You will legitimately hate your life.


Remember, most engine mounts in a lot of the cars I've seen are typically just rubber inserts. Honda did a fluid filled mount for a reason, and they're roughly double the cost of engine mounts for any of their other cars.

I agree with @Kyle above. 'Solid' choices

Pretty damn happy with my Spoon mounts. About the same price (cheaper?) as OEM, engine barely moves around anymore, better shifter feel, and IMHO only (very) slightly more vibrations.

I like my Megan Racing ones, cheap and very effective. They're just the harder rubber, the car definitely vibrates a little more but it doesn't bother me at all coming from fully mounted cars in the past.
